Nu, what about the news?
I spend too long with the news. On my phone. On the laptop. When I have an excess of spare time, I even watch it on the TV, although only Channel 4.

This is part two.
We were on the Isle of Bute Across from Wemyss Bay I think it was Easter. Erica’s dog A beautiful Ridgeback Called Simba Was off the lead.

Easdale
Easdale – pronounced ‘Ease-d’l’ by the locals I spent a week with my family on the tiny slate island of Easdale over Easter.
